During World War II,
the 86% of the Jewish population perished in the concentration camps. Out
of a total of 77,377, only 10, 226 survived the Holocaust. It is commonly
known that the Jewish community of Thessaloniki [Salonika] suffered the
greatest losses. Unfortunately, the archives of the Jewish communities were
either destroyed or confiscated by the nazis.

The prewar archives
of the community of Thessalonika were later found in Moscow, Russia--after
the opening of the Moscow archives. The Greek Jewish authorities are currently
negotiating for the return of these records.

Provided here is a
PDF file with 13,000 Jews (mostly all Sephardic) of whom are known to be
deported and killed in and around 1943. The information was provided graciously
by the Jewish Community of Thessaloniki.
